Hi all, I have an indoor palm type plant in my living room and lately I have noticed there are tiny white spots on some of the leaves. If you zoom in on them with a phone camera they look like tiny bugs from some angles?

I assume I need to clean them off and treat the plant with some insecticide of some sort, any ideas what to buy to treat it?

Hahahaha!!!! Loving the responses :cry:

Thanks though, on further inspection it looks like Mealy bugs. I've washed the leaves with soapy water and got most of them off. Got some Miracle Grow Bug Clear Ultra arriving tomorrow from the rainforest place that I will apply.
